Answer : 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
Solution : Given,
Mass of Cu = 300 g
Molar mass of Cu = 63.546 g/mole
Molar mass of
= 183.511 g/mole
- First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.

The moles of Cu = 4.7209 moles
From the given chemical formula,
we conclude that the each mole of compound contain one mole of Cu.
So, The moles of Cu = Moles of
= 4.4209 moles
- Now we have to calculate the mass of
.
Mass of
= Moles of
× Molar mass of
= 4.4209 moles × 183.511 g/mole = 866.337 g
Mass of
= 866.337 g = 0.8663 Kg (1 Kg = 1000 g)
Therefore, 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
The amount of chemical energy is equal to the amount of heat and light energy.
This is due to the principle of conservation of energy, which states that the total energy of a system remains constant.
The patient needs 1000 ml of 5% (w/v) glucose solution
i.e 1000 ml x 5 g/ 100 ml
where the stock solution is 55% (w/v) = 55 g / 100 ml
So, 1000 ml x 5 g / 100 ml = V (ml) x 55 g / 100 ml
V = 1000 x (5 / 100) / (55 / 100) = 5000 / 55 = 90.9 ml
∴ the patient needs 90.9 ml of 55% (w/v) glucose solution
